r/AdobePremiere

I promise you, it is not worth it.

As someone who has used this program for 10+ years nearly daily, I would recommend literally ANY other editing software. The only reason I still use it is because I have a couple of clients that use it in their workflow.

Premiere is incredibly unstable. If you like losing work or just pulling your hair out because the app crashes, freezes, or completely stalls out forcing a restart then sure. This is the app for you. This has ALWAYS been a problem and always will be. Every single time they've gotten it close to stable, they release a new update that breaks things. That's the first problem.

Second major issue is the updates and features themselves. Adobe seems to hate their customers. Every update for the past few years seems to be a step back or a half-hearted attempt to get with the times. Masking tools, text tools, coloring and other basic features that other programs have as their "this is normal" base package seem to be a mystery for the billion dollar company. I can get specific, but suffice to say NOTHING works well.

On top of all of this, their price just keeps going up, up, up. Something like $65/mo. Ridiculous. If you're new to editing go get and learn DaVinci or Avid. Don't teach yourself how to use Premiere. Stop giving them money. And don't waste your time learning a program that will literally have you wanting to punch yourself in the face.

After making the switch to DaVinci, I felt like a recovering hostage. You mean life doesn't have to suck??? The promised features can work the way they are intended? I don't have to pay a monthly subscription to a company that seemingly hates me? That's it. That's the end of my crash out.

I don't when this was introduced, but Premiere now has an AI powered application running in the background analyzing all of your clips. I first noticed this when Premiere started to bog down and run poorly. At first, I didn't know what was happening and started looking through my computer to see if I unexpectedly ran out of storage space or had other apps hogging my RAM. Then I noticed this icon in the top right corner of Premiere twirling, like it was working hard. I thought, what is this? I clicked on it and found the Media Intelligence Analysis window. It was working in the background to analyze my clips, I guess in order to make them easier to search for by using AI? In all honesty, I haven't researched the purpose, usefulness, or lack there of, of this add on. All I know is it seriously bogged down Premiere!

So long story short, if Premiere suddenly starts running like crap, go into Settings>Media Analysis & Transcription and turn it off. Problem solved.

I am trying to be well organized because of complexity of my story. So I edited each scene independently in different timeline now I have over 60 scenes. Now I want to move to my master timeline. My original plan was to put in and out in each timeline and drag them to master so premiere only uses that and if I want to go back to the scene and make changes it would be easy. But premiere doesn't do that and puts the entire sequence there. So I decided to copy clips themselves, but how can I make sure I don't lose track of the sequence it came from so if I want to add or make some changes it would be easier? Thank you all in advance

i want to edit in comfortable environments (i hate sitting in traditional chairs) and want to edit on the couch, in bed, and ultimately work looking up rather than leaning down.

anyone have any advice / experience with Apple Vision Pro + Adobe Premiere Pro?

I've been wondering lately whether natural language editing is actually usable day to day or if it's still more of a demo trick than a real workflow.

The idea is you type something like make this a 30 second product clip, cut the long pauses, add captions, use the strongest takes, and the tool does a first pass based on that. I tried this with Sparki on a batch of product footage last week instead of opening Premiere like I normally would. For a straightforward promo style edit it genuinely got close on the first try, maybe two rounds of small tweaks to get it publish ready.

Where I don't see it working yet is anything with a real creative arc, a story with pacing that needs to build. That still felt like something only a human editor with actual taste can do right now.

So I'm landing somewhere in the middle. Would you trust a natural language editor with simple social clips, or does the idea of describing an edit instead of making it feel like it loses too much control either way?

Has anyone ever tried a non AI premiere plugin to mark the beats in the timeline?
There are some options out there with different price range.
Which one is an affordable, simple and fast beat marker?

so Im making a video and trying to get the typewriter effect to produce a word at a time and not like four letters. for example fricken will be shown as frick and then fricken, I want it as one word. no youtube video is really explaining this, any help?

I’ve been having this issue with editing pretty consistently the last two months. Any time I upload any a first piece of media to adobe it instantly goes to the blue spinning wheel of doom and my entire computer freezes. Nothing works. Even ctrl alt delete stops working. I have to do a hard restart. It only happens the first time media is put into a project and not again and all editing from there goes smoothly. I’ve checked the task manager til everything freezes and nothing is running at max capacity, the computer doesn’t get hot, all is fine.

I’ve updated my drivers, checked for adobe updates- none of it’s working.

In the past I’ve gotten through it by clearing my media cache, and praying and on the dozenth attempt it works. But no luck today. Has anyone experienced this? Any advice?

Is there any plugin for cleaning Premiere cache and adjust the settings to make it run smoother?
Like mac or windows clean-up apps.

Had this whole rabbit chase yesterday trying to troubleshoot. Hope I can save you some time.

Edit -> Preferences -> Media Analysis & Transcription: Uncheck all the boxes.

Thank you premiere for making me paranoid my PC was broken.

Ive honestly tried everything. Clearing media cache, turning resolution to 1/4, allocating more ram, none of it works. The thing is, premiere was super smooth for me until I took a 3 month break and now its all super laggy. I used to have a video playing in my second monitor and editing materials like sfx and vfx downloading in the background and Premiere would never lag for me back then. Now, importing a 40 minute recording isn’t even possible without restarting the application 5 times. Everytime I tried to import, the import bar would be stuck on 0 and when it finally imported, the playback would be extremely laggy. The audio would be 5 seconds ahead of the video and freezes often. It isn’t just the playback either, the whole application lags. Ive tried downloading Nvidia studio drivers, still laggy. Restarting my pc multiple times, still laggy. Im still on the version I used months ago so the new changes on the new update is not the problem. I’m not sure if its my OBS or my pc, but its becoming an extreme hassle. I have a 2060 Super and a 3600x with 16 gb of ram if that helps. Any kind of comment helps! 😊
